Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion

Skip to current discussions · Purge this page

Shortcut: WP:MFD

Please do not nominate your user page (or subpages of it) for deletion here. Instead, add {{db-userreq}} at the top of any such page you no longer wish to keep; an administrator will then delete the page. See Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion for more information.

Miscellany for deletion (MfD) is a place where Wikipedians decide what should be done with problematic pages in the namespaces which aren't covered by other specialized deletion discussion areas. Items sent here are usually discussed for seven days; then they are either deleted by an administrator or kept, based on community consensus as evident from the discussion, consistent with policy, and with careful judgment of the rough consensus if required.

Information on the process[edit]

What may be nominated for deletion here:

Pages in these namespaces: Book:, Draft:, Help:, Portal:, MediaWiki:, Wikipedia: (including WikiProjects), User:, TimedText:, Module:, Topic:, Gadget:, Gadget definition:, and the various Talk: namespaces
Userboxes (regardless of namespace)
Any other page, that is not in article space, where there is dispute as to the correct XfD venue.

Requests to undelete pages deleted after discussion here, and debate whether discussions here have been properly closed, both take place at Wikipedia:Deletion review, in accordance with Wikipedia's undeletion policy.

Before nominating a page for deletion[edit]

Before nominating a page for deletion, please consider these guidelines:

Deleting pages in your own userspace	If you want to have your own personal userpage deleted, there is no need to list it here; simply tag it with {{db-userreq}}. If you wish your user talk page (or user talk page archives) to be deleted, this is the correct location to request that.
Deleting pages in other people's userspace	Consider explaining your concerns on the user's talk page with a personal note or by adding `{{subst:Uw-userpage}} ~~~~` to their talk page. This step assumes good faith and civility; often the user is simply unaware of the guidelines, and the page can either be fixed or speedily deleted using {{db-userreq}}. Take care not to bite newcomers - sometimes using the {{subst:welcome}} or {{subst:welcomeg}} template and a pointer to WP:UP would be best first. Problematic userspace material is often addressed by the User pages guidelines including in some cases removal by any user or tagging to clarify the content or to prevent external search engine indexing. (Examples include copies of old, deleted, or disputed material, problematic drafts, promotional material, offensive material, inappropriate links, 'spoofing' of the MediaWiki interface, disruptive HTML, invitations or advocacy of disruption, certain kinds of images and image galleries, etc) If your concern relates to these areas consider these approaches as well, or instead of, deletion. User pages about Wikipedia-related matters by established users usually do not qualify for deletion. Articles that were recently deleted at AfD and then moved to userspace are generally not deleted unless they have lingered in userspace for an extended period of time without improvement to address the concerns that resulted in their deletion at AfD, or their content otherwise violates a global content policy such as our policies on Biographies of living persons that applies to any namespace. Note that we do not delete user subpages merely to "clean up" userspace. Please only nominate pages that are problematic under our guidelines.
Policies, guidelines and process pages	Established pages and their sub-pages should not be nominated, as such nominations will probably be considered disruptive, and the ensuing discussions closed early. This is not a forum for modifying or revoking policy. Instead consider tagging the policy as {{historical}} or redirecting it somewhere. Proposals still under discussion generally should not be nominated. If you oppose a proposal, discuss it on the policy page's discussion page. Consider being bold and improving the proposal. Modify the proposal so that it gains consensus. Also note that even if a policy fails to gain consensus, it is often useful to retain it as a historical record, for the benefit of future editors.
WikiProjects and their subpages	It is generally preferable that inactive WikiProjects not be deleted, but instead be marked as {{WikiProject status\|inactive}}, redirected to a relevant WikiProject, or changed to a task force of a parent WikiProject, unless the WikiProject was incompletely created or is entirely undesirable. WikiProjects that were never very active and which do not have substantial historical discussions (meaning multiple discussions over an extended period of time) on the project talk page should not be tagged as {{historical}}; reserve this tag for historically active projects that have, over time, been replaced by other processes or that contain substantial discussion (as defined above) of the organization of a significant area of Wikipedia. Before deletion of an inactive project with a founder or other formerly active members who are active elsewhere on Wikipedia, consider userfication. Notify the main WikiProject talk page when nominating any WikiProject subpage, in addition to standard notification of the page creator.
Alternatives to deletion	Normal editing that doesn't require the use of any administrator tools, such as merging the page into another page or renaming it, can often resolve problems. Pages in the wrong namespace (e.g. an article in Wikipedia namespace), can simply be moved and then tag the redirect for speedy deletion using {{db-g6\|rationale= it's a redirect left after a cross-namespace move}}. Notify the author of the original article of the cross-namespace move.

Please familiarize yourself with the following policies[edit]

Wikipedia:Deletion policy – our deletion policy that describes how we delete things by consensus
Wikipedia:Deletion process – our guidelines on how to list anything for deletion
Wikipedia:Guide to deletion – whose guidelines on discussion format and shorthands also apply here
Wikipedia:User page – our guidelines on user pages and user subpages
Wikipedia:Userboxes – our guideline on userboxes

How to list pages for deletion[edit]

Please check the aforementioned list of deletion discussion areas to check that you are in the right area. Then follow these instructions:

Click to view instructions on listing pages for deletion

To list a page for deletion, follow this three-step process: (replace PageName with the name of the page, including its namespace, to be deleted)

Note: Users must be logged in to complete steps II and III. An unregistered user who wishes to nominate a page for deletion should complete step I and post their reasoning on Wikipedia talk:Miscellany for deletion with a notification to a registered user to complete the process.

I.

Edit PageName:

Enter the following text at the top of the page you are listing for deletion:

{{mfd}}
for a second or subsequent nomination use {{mfdx|2nd|{{subst:FULLPAGENAME}}}}

If the nomination is for a userbox, please put <noinclude></noinclude> tags around the {{mfd}}, as to not mess up the formating for the userbox.

or

{{mfd|GroupName}}
if nominating several related pages in an umbrella nomination.

or

{{subst:md1-inline|{{subst:FULLPAGENAME}}}}
if you are nominating a userbox in userspace or similarly transcluded page.

Please include in the edit summary the phrase
Added MfD nomination at [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName]]
replace PageName with the name of the page that is up for deletion.
Please don't mark your edit summary as a minor edit.
Check the "Watch this page" box if you would like to follow the page in your watchlist. This may help you to notice if your MfD tag is removed by someone.
Save the page

II.

Create its MfD subpage.

The resulting MfD box at the top of the page should contain the link "this page's entry"

Click that link to open the page's deletion discussion page.
Insert this text:

{{subst:mfd2| pg={{subst:#titleparts:{{subst:PAGENAME}}||2}}| text=Reason why the page should be deleted}} ~~~~
replacing Reason... with your reasons why the page should be deleted. Do not substitute the pagename, as this will occur automatically.

Consider checking "Watch this page" to follow the progress of the debate.
Please use an edit summary such as Creating deletion discussion page for [[PageName]]
replacing PageName with the name of the page you are proposing for deletion.
Save the page.

III.

Add a line to MfD.

Follow this edit link and add a line to the top of the list:

{{subst:mfd3| pg=PageName}}
Put the page's name in place of "PageName".

Include the discussion page's name in your edit summary like
Added [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName]]
replacing PageName with the name of the page you are proposing for deletion.
Save the page.
If nominating a page that has been nominated before, use the page's name in place of "PageName" and add

{{priorxfd|PageName}}
in the nominated page deletion discussion area to link to the previous discussions and then save the page using an edit summary such as
Added [[Template:priorxfd]] to link to prior discussions.

If nominating a page from someone else's userspace, notify them on their main talk page.
For other pages, while not required, it is generally considered civil to notify the good-faith creator and any main contributors of the miscellany that you are nominating. To find the main contributors, look in the page history or talk page of the page and/or use TDS' Article Contribution Counter or Wikipedia Page History Statistics. For your convenience, you may add

{{subst:MFDWarning|PageName}} ~~~~

to their talk page, replacing PageName with the pagename. Please use an edit summary such as

Notice of deletion discussion at [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName]]

replacing PageName with the name of the nomination page you are proposing for deletion.
If the user has not edited in a while, consider sending the user an email to notify them about the MfD if the MfD concerns their user pages.
If you are nominating a Portal, please make a note of your nomination here and consider using the portal guidelines in your nomination.
If you are nominating a WikiProject, please post a notice at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council, in addition to the project's talk page and the talk pages of the founder and active members.

Administrator instructions[edit]

Administrator instructions for closing discussions can be found here.

Current discussions[edit]

Pages currently being considered are indexed by the day on which they were first listed. Please place new listings at the top of the section for the current day. If no section for the current day is present, please start a new section.

Five year old stale non-English language draft for a non-notable rapper. Ricky81682 (talk) 03:59, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

User:Ya it is me/Raneem Husni Al-Jabari[edit]

Five year old non-English draft Ricky81682 (talk) 03:58, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

User:ARIYA,Ginzang/BLOCKSUM[edit]

2007 era draft created following the deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BLOCKSUM. Ricky81682 (talk) 03:40, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

User:Fadookie/Cube[edit]

Old userspace draft created in 2007 as a backup because of a "stupid notability dispute" happening at Cube (video game). Ricky81682 (talk) 03:38, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Draft:Roque De La Fuente[edit]

Article has been created at Rocky De La Fuente. I don't see any need for merging as the primary editor of the draft has been actively editing the mainspace article, and the material that isn't included seems to be campaign literature type stuff. Whpq (talk) 01:14, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Draft:Antonio J. Paris[edit]

Redundant to Draft:Antonio Paris, and as far as I can tell, it;s the same article. Whpq (talk) 01:05, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Delete - Not needed to have two symmetrical articles. SwisterTwister talk 01:12, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
Delete - both articles created by same person. Appears to be an attempt to remove the several declines (which were deleted from the first article as well). Keep the first article, since it has the history of the article's development. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:51, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

January 14, 2016[edit]

User talk:Darkmorpher (usurped)[edit]

should this page be deleted now that it has served it's purpose, or keep it for historical purposes? Hei Liebrecht 23:44, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

User:Colonel Warden/Event admission[edit]

This is an almost 2 year old draft of a short article that looks more like a disambiguation page. I don't think it's useful, and either should be moved to Wikitionary or deleted. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:35, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Keep Event management and studies are significant disciplines covered by sources such as Sport Facility and Event Management. Admission facilities, pricing, and systems are naturally part of this and so the topic has potential. Per WP:DEADLINE, there is no timetable for this and so this nomination is disruptive. Andrew D. (talk) 00:52, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Keep - overzealous cleaning up of apparently stale user space drafts. Warden now edits as Andrew Davidson and is probably well aware of what he has in his userspace(s). --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 15:55, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

User:Jagjeet Sajral[edit]

Self-promo, very few useful edits. Yann (talk) 20:33, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Delete per nominator. This account was created to parlay copyright violations via Wikimedia Commons. Sum of contributions are copyright violations and self-promotion. Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 20:52, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
Delete as a fake article. -- Whpq (talk) 01:00, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Template:User ahpalh/msulim[edit]

duplicates User:UBX/Muslim and probably many others. Frietjes (talk) 00:35, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Redirect. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:52, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
- SmokeyJoe, how is a redirect helpful when it is (1) named after the user who created it, and (2) contains a misspelling? I could see redirecting it if it were say User:ahpalh/muslim (which already exists), but not in this case. Frietjes (talk) 15:15, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Draft:Corruption in the government of Azerbaijan[edit]

Created by blocked editor, doubt it will ever go live. Doug Weller talk 19:11, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Delete at best and restart if better available later. SwisterTwister talk 23:43, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
Keep. Insufficient rational offered for deletion. Either delete via G5 if applicable, or via G13 according to standard process. Does not look like something that should come to MfD. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:54, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

User:YK Times/Yellowknife staging[edit]

Stale draft of Yellowknife article. One edit in 2013 and the one before that was 2010. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 11:37, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Delete as mentioned, not needed. SwisterTwister talk 23:42, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
Delete as old sandbox copy. User:YK Times edited it as a sandbox while editing the mainspace article. CambridgeBayWeather, "One edit in 2013 and the one before that was 2010" is an odd misleading statement. The substantial edits were several, from May to July 2007? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:00, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Yes they were but I was just pointing out when the last edits were. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 06:33, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

- I was wondering whether you had failed to scroll down on a small screen, or whether someone had done a history merge mid-discussion. Should be deleted. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:55, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Draft:Burned Secrets[edit]

Another hoax using Simpsons writers and now celebrities. See also Draft:The Duck Bros. Fuddle (talk) 03:40, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

User:SV~enwiki/Cleanup[edit]

This is interesting because two separate users are listed for this sandbox, SV~enwiki (not listed at the history) and Stevertigo (I believe the actual user, as listed at the history, is Stevertigo]). Regardless, this is another longtime unused user sandbox for a user who has been gone for about ten years (likely especially needed if this is actually for the now-banned user). SwisterTwister talk 03:04, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Keep. At best this is nomination is busywork. At worst, it is interference in another's workspace and a waste of human resources for the reviewers of MfD. No reason offered justifies deletion. If there is some problem, like populating a maintenance category, just blank it. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:05, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

User:Howabout1/Sandbox[edit]

Longtime unused (10 years) sandbox of a now apparently vanished user who was last active once in February 2007, there's simply nothing here to suggest it can be kept any further time. SwisterTwister talk 03:05, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

The fact that a sandbox hasn't been used for a while is not a satisfactory reason for deleting it. The user could come back at any time and be left wondering where his sandbox went. This user has not put Template:Retired on their user page and an insufficient period of time has elapsed for us to presume them dead. Editors have be known to return after lengthy breaks in editing. The fact that the sandbox is empty is not a good reason either, as we expect sandboxes to be empty most of the time. This is not analogous to the 'stale draft' because that is masquerading as an encyclopedia article, whereas this sandbox isn't. Even in that case it would often be preferable to blank the content in the sandbox rather than delete the page. Editors shouldn't have to have their sandboxes being deleted and recreated over and over again every time they want to make a test edit, which is the logical conclusion of what this MfD proposes. James500 (talk) 07:03, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
Keep. Pointless interference with other users' workspace. This interference has more downsides than benefits. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:07, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Draft:HMCL Diligence[edit]

There is a better (although not yet satisfactory) draft at User:Andrewcooksonsmith/HMCL Diligence. No progress is being made on this draft. Delete it so that the userpage draft can be moved to draft space. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:42, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Delete as mentioned, unlikely needed. SwisterTwister talk 07:38, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
Delete per nom, and move the better draft to mainspace. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:10, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Draft that was created, but never taken to article space, and has been since created independently at The Genius (TV series). I reviewed the draft and don't see anything worth merging. Whpq (talk) 15:12, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Draft:Cultural Education Centre, AMU Aligarh[edit]

promotional draft article for what seems to be the organization sponsoring the student clubs at a university. Very few such groups have ever been considered notable. This draft has now been rejected a total of 8 times at AfC, which may not be a record, but comes close to it. DGG ( talk ) 20:45, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Delete as I was one of the noticeably numerous decliners and this is a WP:TNT at best, nothing to suggest solid improvement. Notifying other AfCers Onel5969, Wiae and Kikichugirl. SwisterTwister talk 02:11, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Draft:Disney's Happiness on Parade[edit]

Blatant hoax is being developed by an IP with an extensive history of adding spurious info about imaginary future shows, parades, and movies, often writing about supposed future events in the past tense. No such parade exists or has ever been reported in the works. The level of detail about a parade that supposedly won't exist for another 15 months is one giveaway that this is a work of fiction. Apparently, the same IP has twice tried to create this article on the French Wikipedia too. It was deleted there both times. AtticusX (talk) 08:16, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Delete for now at best. SwisterTwister talk 18:29, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Draft:Power Rangers S.P.D.[edit]

There are two issues with this draft. It duplicates an article already in mainspace, and it was created by a user who has since been indeffed as promotional.

Comment:The draft was put in my userspace at my request Nov 21, 2006, by User:TheProject, after that user deleted it after an AFD in 2006, allowing only 2 hours and 12 minutes from nomination to speedy deletion. I as a relatively inexperienced user at the time, had thoughts of finding refs and recreating the article. Of course, the history was needed, to show who had contributed what to it. The placement in my userspace, apparently a copy and paste, did not seem to bring the history. But then a totally different stub article about the mall was put into mainspace [1] on March 5, 2007 by User:Billboardmister. The earlier article under the same name does not show up in the history of the new version.It was later noted via a tag that the article had previously been at AFD, although it was the older version which had been to AFD and been deleted, and then the new article received a second AFD nomination, which resulted in "Keep," with even User:TenPoundHammer !=voting "Weak keep" since it was a superregional mall. I merely sought to preserve the information in the first deleted version, since it was a superregional mall. Before this 2006 article is deleted, perhaps someone with tech skills could point out where it is in article history. It should not have disappeared utterly such that not even an admin can find it. Did Wikipedia lose some history in 2006? This violates the intellectual property rights of whomever contributed to the 2006 article. I see no need to keep the draft in my userspace, but I question why all trace of it was expunged from mainspace when it was deleted. I can see other deleted articles, as an admin.Edison (talk) 22:33, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
Delete Found the edit history of the 2006 version of this article in the article history under "view deleted edits" which is only viewable by administrators, oversighters, researchers,and checkusers. I am now happy for the old version to be deleted from my subpage. I do not plan to add any of it to the present version of the article. Edison (talk) 00:22, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Draft:Breakthrough Management Group International[edit]

This has, in my view, reached the end of the WP:AFC road. Multiple reviews with no hint of passing WP:CORP, certainly by this contributing editor, mean it needs to be put out of its promotional misery Fiddle Faddle 00:37, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Sujaydeo (talk) 04:59, 7 January 2016 (UTC) Hi, I am first time editor so it took me some time to understand the process. I believe there has been some progress in improving the article. Unfortunately, I got different advise from multiple sources which led to the delay. As I understand, the only issue is the notability now. I wont change the content now and will add relevant 3rd party links to improve the notability. Any other suggestions are most welcome.

Sujaydeo (talk) 19:02, 7 January 2016 (UTC) I have edited the content. I have removed irrelevant links and added some relevant links. Please take a look. Your advise will be very helpful.

Right now the article is really only about BMGI India (most of the references are from Indian sources). I agree with the earliest comment, which is that the parent company would need an article first, and that most likely subsidiaries would be covered in that article, not as stand-alone articles. Unfortunately, I suspect that the creator/editor isn't in a position to create an article for the parent company, which might be a pretty complex undertaking. But instead of deleting this, I would like to introduce Sujaydeo to Wikipedia:WikiProject Companies and see if someone there would like to take on at least creating a decent beginning of an article for BMGI, after which Sujaydeo can add the relevant information about the Indian subsidiary. Looking at the references, a case could be made for writing about how the quality control issue has affected Indian businesses, and there are success stories in those references that show the impact of QC improvement. Let me see if I can stir up some interest at the Companies project. LaMona (talk) 21:01, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Sujaydeo (talk) 04:23, 8 January 2016 (UTC) Thank You Lamona. From my side, I will try to find more 3rd party links about BMGI parent company.

Wikipedia:Times that 100 Wikipedians supported an ArbCom candidate[edit]

This page is useless. It gets next to no views. It doesn't serve any proper purpose, and in the most recent elections (Dec 2015), every candidate got over 100 support votes, and all but two got over 500. 100 is no longer a useful yardstick or milestone, so why have a page to list it? Rcsprinter¹²³ (express) 10:24, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Delete as likely not needed anymore. SwisterTwister talk 22:18, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
@Rcsprinter123: I don't understand why you've phrased this RfC in such a combative fashion (if you didn't mean it that way, that's certainly how it comes across). To answer your question, ages ago I split WP:100 into separate pages because it was becoming unwieldy. If this page is no longer useful, then sure, get rid of it. Before the split you would have just removed the section from the page. — Scott • talk 15:21, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
Keep: usually WP-namespace pages are either archived, marked as inactive or redirected to a more current page to keep the contributors' work and for transparency. (btw: A deletion doesn't even make the database smaller, but bigger.) --.js (((☎))) 16:43, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
- Good point. Keep and mark as historic. We have plenty of no-longer-updated records of things in the archives. You never know what somebody might find useful some day and it doesn't hurt us to file it away. — Scott • talk 17:00, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

User:Melinda Lantos/Civil Protection Financial Instrument[edit]

Large series of 2010-era userspace drafts. All look to be ill-formatted to becoming articles and seem to cover various EU agencies and instruments. These are notable items I think but the sourcing is not clear and the pages all include "See also" sections with internal references. If anyone thinks anything is worth keeping, then perhaps those can be moved to draftspace but overall I'm not certain about any particular page. Looks like a giant WP:WEBHOST issue. Ricky81682 (talk) 08:31, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Delete as mentioned. SwisterTwister talk 22:25, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
Improve and mainspace. I oppose the deletion of these drafts. Their content is not obviously useless and might be improved. I think we are more likely to get an article from each of these drafts than from a new attempt to start from scratch. There is too much already there to invoke TNT. I suspect that if these were in the mainspace now an AfD would actually fail because of IMPERFECT and PRESERVE. A move to the draftspace would be reasonable, as they are more likely to be improved there. James500 (talk) 08:04, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

If you think they should be moved, fine I won't object, but each one is a giant piles of text including very complex EU regulatory language with a single reference listed which I don't believe discussing their allegations. Someone are already in mainspace I believe (mostly redirects I think) so I hope you're going to actually work on them because I honestly think they are all basically 'blown them up and start over' drafts and I don't think we need to have AFC deal with them in six months for G13. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:45, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Delete all. I see no prospect that any useful articles will come from these. Problems include:

Notability, often a problem with these EU programmes, which are of interest to the Eurocrats who devise them and to the contractors they employ, but seldom attract the sort of substantial independent comment required by WP:N. In this case there is only a single reference cited, the "Handbook on EU Funds".
Updating: these were posted over a period of six weeks, more than five years ago; the author never edited again. The programmes described here are proposals: the articles list their aims and objectives, but were they completed? What were the results? Unless someone is willing to do the extensive work necessary to bring them up to date, I do not think a detailed snapshot of the state of these EU programmes as at Oct/Nov 2010 is useful or encyclopedic. The right approach, if someone is interested enough to do it, would be an overview article like Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development, with links to the actual EU websites about the individual programmes. That way a reader who wanted all this detail could get the up-to-date version.
Tone: these are, or at any rate read like, the EU telling us about its own programmes and what they plan to do. An encyclopedia article should not be the story the subject wants to tell about itself; it should be an independent view, including outcomes as well as aims, but I doubt that independent sources exist to support that.
Copyright: given that the user posted the first sixteen of these substantial pages in a single day, 14 Oct 2010, I strongly suspect that they have been copied from some source, perhaps the "Handbook on EU Funds". I have not found a source on-line, and I suppose it is just possible that they were all prepared offline and then input in a batch, but that seems to me unlikely.

If they are moved to Draft space, we shall just be having this discussion again in six months. JohnCD (talk) 22:53, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

There's nothing to suggest better notability and improvement for an independent biography article and she is mentioned as it is at Members of JKT48. SwisterTwister talk 06:04, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Neutral here. I'd suggest we move to Melody Nurramdhani Laksani in mainspace and make into a redirect to JKT48. Other members are redirects there and may as well make some use of this minor work. Someone else could create the redirect if they want the credit but I'd say at least if the editor ever returns, it'd be a nice thing to do. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 22:08, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Weak keep I'd give it a little leeway since it was a draft just created. It is a term that is used by some sources (examiner has one mention too but it's blacklisted) and while it's probably a WP:NEO right now, with some work, it could be some content worth merging into a section at YouTube or Pokemon. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 11:30, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
